Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) “Today is the best day in my life because today I sent my message of hope to the world.” These were the words of Rahaf, 15. Along with her friends from Gaza, Malak (14) and Yara (13), all three of them Palestine refugees, she travelled to Belfast to meet Magdalena (12) and Julie (13) from the Czech Republic. Together, they spent a week-long visit organised by The Hands Up Project, a British charity that connects Palestinian children with classes globally.

For the first time, the five girls shared a stage at St Louise’s Comprehensive College in Belfast to perform two plays, give a dance recital, sing, and communicate with one voice the importance of taking care of the environment.
